all you metal benders

If like me you shop for the certain cutlery that the U.K shop Wilkinsons sell....You may be interested to know that they are discontinuing this range making it harder and harder to find good forks and spoons........

However one did discover last night that Woolworths do a fine range of forks and spoons in 4 packs at 88p or 26 packs at around £3


Hope thats a help to anyone

Thanks - always a useful tip to know when people are changing their designs and where you can get alternatives. I was in the same quandry with Asda until I was pointed in the direction of Wilkinsons.

Thing is, Wilkinson changed their design before to something that could not be used and then changed it back again. I wonder is us metal benders had anything to do with their decision as they may have noted the dip in sales :roll:

Problem is that the staff in shops like Wilkinsons won't have a clue where items come from. They're 'procured' at head office who decide what the store will sell and for how much.

Local 'pound' shops near me sell packs of spoons either 4 or 6 for a pound. I havent found forks there yet though
